This book gives me everything I want from a story with Thrawn at the center of it. He’s devious, cunning, and calculated. And when he seems out of his element I’m left wondering is he really or is he seeming that way to the other characters and to us the reader? That’s the brilliance of not just Thrawn but his creator Timothy Zahn.

While it’s not essential to watch Rebels to enjoy this novel I will say there were certainly added moments of knowing some things about who some characters are and where they end up later in the timeline.

Lastly this will be one of the books I will use as an example when someone asks how can Star Wars work without the Jedi, Sith, or lightsabers.
